DRYER SAFETY Your safety and the safety of others are very important. We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety messages. This is the safety alert symbol. This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others. All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word DANGER or WARNING. These words mean: DANGER You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't immediately follow instructions. WARNING You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't follow instructions. All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can happen if the instructions are not followed. WARNING: For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire or explosion, or to prevent property damage, personal injury, or death. Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance. WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS: Do not try to light any appliance. Do not touch any electrical switch; do not use any phone in your building. Clear the room, building, or area of all occupants. Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor's phone. Follow the gas supplier's instructions. If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire department. Installation, service, or conversions for use on other gas supplies must be performed by a qualified installer, service agency, or the gas supplier. 3

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using the dryer, follow basic precautions, including the following: Read all instructions before using the dryer. Gas dryers should only be installed in a room if the room meets the appropriate ventilation requirements specified in the national installation regulations. Make sure the room containing the dryer has an adequate air supply for gas combustion and/or drying operation. A window or equivalent means of ventilation must be opened in the room when the dryer is in use (an equivalent form of opening includes an adjustable louvre, hinged panel, or other means of ventilation that opens directly to outside air). Keep a minimum clearance of 10 cm (4 in.) between the rear of the dryer and any wall. The operation of this appliance may affect the operation of other types of gas appliances which take their air supply for safe combustion from the same room. There has to be adequate ventilation to replace exhausted air and thus avoid the back-flow of gases into the room from appliances burning other fuels, including open fires, when operating the tumble dryer. If in doubt, consult the appliance manufacturers. Do not obstruct the air supply to the dryer (see Installation Instructions for minimum clearances). Do not place items exposed to cooking oils in your dryer. Items contaminated with cooking oils may contribute to a chemical reaction that could cause a load to catch fire. Do not dry articles that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, cooking oils, or other flammable, or explosive substances as they give off vapours that could ignite or explode. Do not allow children to play on or in the dryer. Close supervision of children is necessary when the dryer is used near children. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS Before the dryer is removed from service or discarded, remove the doors to the drying compartment. Do not reach into the dryer if the drum is moving. A door switch is fitted for your safety. Do not install or store the dryer where it will be exposed to the weather. Do not tamper with controls. Do not continue to use this appliance if it appears to be faulty. Do not repair or replace any part of the dryer or attempt any maintenance unless specifically recommended in this Use and Care Guide. Repairs and servicing should only be carried out by competent service personnel. Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static unless recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric softener or product. Do not use heat to dry articles containing foam rubber or similarly textured rubber-like materials. Always use the cool-down period at end of drying cycle to avoid a heat build-up in stored clothes. Clean dryer lint screen before or after each load. Do not operate dryer without lint screen in place. Keep area around the exhaust and inlet openings and adjacent surrounding areas free from the accumulation of lint, dust, and dirt. The interior of the dryer and exhaust vent should be cleaned periodically by qualified service personnel. See Installation Instructions for earthing instructions. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard. 4

CHECKING YOUR VENT Your dryer must be properly installed and vented to achieve maximum drying efficiency and shorten drying times. Use the minimum recommended installation clearances found in the Installation Instructions. Refer to the Installation Instructions for more information. WARNING DRYER USE Starting Your Dryer WARNING Fire Hazard Use a heavy metal vent. Do not use a plastic vent. Do not use a metal foil vent. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or fire. If the dryer is not properly installed and vented, it will not be covered under the warranty. NOTE: Service calls caused by improper venting will be paid for by the customer, whether it was a paid installation or selfinstalled. 1. Do not use plastic vent or metal foil vent. Use 10.2 cm (4") metal or flexible metal vent. Do not kink or crush flexible metal vent. It must be completely extended to allow adequate exhaust air to flow. Check vent after installation. Refer to the Installation Instructions for proper length requirements of vent. 2. Use a 10.2 cm (4") exhaust hood. 10.2 cm (4") 3. Use the straightest path possible when routing the vent. Explosion Hazard Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline, away from dryer. Do not dry anything that has ever had anything flammable on it (even after washing). Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, explosion, or fire. WARNING Fire Hazard No washer can completely remove oil. Do not dry anything that has ever had any type of oil on it (including cooking oils). Items containing foam, rubber, or plastic must be dried on a clothesline or by using an Air Cycle. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or fire. This booklet covers several different models. Your dryer may not have all of the cycles and features described. Before using your dryer, wipe the dryer drum with a damp cloth to remove dust from storing and shipping. 1. Clean the lint screen before each load. See Cleaning the Lint Screen. 2. Load clothes loosely into the dryer and close the door. Do not pack the dryer. Allow space for clothes to tumble freely. Maximum clothing load (cotton fabrics) is 10.0 kg (22 lbs). Good Better 4. Use clamps to seal all joints. Do not use duct tape, screws or other fastening devices that extend into the interior of the vent to secure vent. 5. Clean exhaust vent periodically, depending on use, but at least every 2 years, or when installing your dryer in a new location. When cleaning is complete, be sure to follow the Installation Instructions supplied with your dryer for final product check. 3. Turn the Cycle Control knob to the recommended cycle for the type of load being dried. 4. Select a temperature setting with the Temperature selector. The cycle descriptions include temperature setting suggestions. 7

5. (OPTIONAL) Select the End of Cycle Signal if desired. The signal is helpful when drying permanent press or synthetics. Promptly remove these items from the dryer at the end of the cycle to prevent wrinkles. 6. Push the StART button. Your gas dryer has an electronic ignition system for the burner which is fully automatic; no action is needed by the user (there is no pilot light). NOTE: Your dryer stops automatically when a cycle ends. How Auto Moisture Sensing Works When you are using the Auto Moisture Sensing Cycle, the dryness of the load is determined by two metal strips (sensors) located on the inside of the dryer. The metal strips help feel the amount of moisture left in the clothes as they pass. When there is moisture left in the clothes, the Cycle Control Knob will not advance. As clothes begin to dry, the amount of water left in the clothes decreases, and the timer advances through the remainder of the cycle. When the selected dryness level is reached, the dryer goes into a cool down period of up to 10 minutes. Stopping and Restarting You can stop your dryer anytime during a cycle. To stop your dryer Open the dryer door or turn the Cycle Control knob to an Off position. NOTE: The Cycle Control knob should point to an Off area when the dryer is not in use. To restart your dryer 1. Close the door. 2. Select a new cycle and temperature (if desired). 3. Push the START button. Drying, Cycle and Temperature Tips Select the correct cycle and temperature for your load. Cool Down tumbles the load without heat during the last few minutes of all cycles to make the load easier to handle. Drying tips Follow care label directions when they are available. If desired, add a fabric softener sheet. Follow package instructions. To reduce wrinkling, remove the load from the dryer as soon as tumbling stops. This is especially important for permanent press, knits and synthetic fabrics. Cycle and temperature tips Use a High Heat setting for drying heavyweight items such as towels and work clothes. Use a Medium Heat setting for drying medium weight items such as sheets, underwear, permanent press fabrics and some knits. Use a Low Heat setting for drying lightweight items such as lingerie, blouses, dresses and some knits. Use a no-heat (air) setting for rubber, plastic or heat-sensitive fabrics. Line dry bonded or laminated fabrics. NOTE: If you have questions about drying temperatures for various loads, refer to the care label directions. If you are unsure of the temperature to select for a load, select a lower setting rather than a higher setting. Dryer Symbols The control panel of your dryer contains symbols. Refer to the chart below for a definition of those symbols. Low Heat Temperature Selector Start Button End of Cycle Signal Selector End of Cycle Signal On Cycle Control Knob Medium Heat Automatic Drying Cycles Heavyweight Items Cupboard Dry Synthetics/ Permanent Press Delicates Iron Dry 70...20 Minutes of heated drying Iron Dry Machine Off 30...10 Minutes of no-heat drying Timed Drying Cycle Air Dry Cycle End of Cycle Signal Off High Heat Cupboard Dry Plus Cotton Quick Dry Cool Down Machine Off Damp Dry Cool Down Machine Off 8

CYCLES Delicates Select this option to dry small loads or lightweight items. Set the temperature selector to Low Heat. Iron Dry (Automatic cycle) setting When you are unable to remove a load from the dryer as soon as it stops, wrinkles can form. The Iron Dry setting periodically tumbles, rearranges, and fluffs the load for up to 30 minutes without heat to avoid wrinkles. A signal will sound periodically if the End of Cycle Signal is selected. The signal and the tumbling will end when you open the dryer door, or when you turn the Cycle Control knob to Off. Cycle Control knob Automatic cycle Use your Automatic cycle to dry most loads. Your dryer has a control that senses the moisture level in the load and shuts off when the load reaches the selected dryness. Select the temperature from the temperature selector based on the fabrics in your load. After drying a load, check the dryness. If the load is drier than you like, select a setting closer to Delicates the next time you dry a similar load. If a load is not as dry as you like, complete drying using a Timed cycle. Select a setting closer to Cupboard Dry Plus the next time you dry a similar load. NOTE: Drying time varies with an Automatic cycle. The type of fabric, size of the load, and the dryness selected affect drying time. See Drying, Cycle and Temperature Tips. Cupboard Dry Plus Select this setting to evenly dry large or heavy items such as thick cotton bath towels or robes. Set the Temperature selector to High Heat. Cotton Timed Drying cycle(s) Use Timed Drying for heavyweight and bulky items, such as bedspreads and work clothes or large loads that require a long drying time. Set the temperature selector to High Heat. You may use the Timed Drying cycle for lightweight items such as lingerie or knits. Set the temperature selector, based on the fabrics in your load. NOTE: Use your Timed Drying cycle to complete drying if items are still damp after the Automatic cycle. Damp Dry Select this setting to dry items to a damp level, or to dry items that do not require an entire drying cycle. Damp dry items such as jeans (to prevent stiffness) or cotton clothing (to make pressing easier). Choose a temperature setting based on the fabrics in your load. Iron Dry (Timed Drying cycle) setting Select this setting to remove wrinkles from items such as clothing packed in a suitcase or items wrinkled from being left in the dryer too long. Set the temperature selector to Medium or Low Heat depending on the fabrics in your load. Select this setting to thoroughly dry heavy items such as sheets, mattress pads and quilts or a load of towels. Set the temperature selector to High Heat. Synthetics/Permanent Press Select this cycle to dry medium to lightweight synthetic or no-iron items such as shirts, blouses or dresses. Choose a Medium Heat setting. Quick Dry Use this cycle for drying small loads or loads that need a short drying time. Choose a High or Medium Heat setting depending on the type of fabrics being dried. 9

Air Dry cycle Use the Air Dry cycle for items that require drying without heat such as rubber, plastic, and heat-sensitive fabrics. Set the Cycle Control knob to Air Dry. This chart shows examples of items that can be dried using the Air Dry cycle. 2. Place drying rack inside dryer drum, positioning the back wire on the ledge of the inner dryer back panel. Push down on front edge of drying rack to secure over the lint screen. A Type of Load Air Dry cycle* Foam rubber pillows, padded bras, stuffed toys Plastic Shower curtains, tablecloths Rubber-backed rugs Olefin, polypropylene, sheer nylon 20-30 20-30 40-50 10-20 *(Minutes). Reset cycle to complete drying if needed. A. Dryer back panel 3. Put the wet items on top of the rack. Leave space between the items so air can reach all the surfaces. NOTE: Do not allow items to hang over the edge of the rack. When using Air Dry Check to see that coverings are securely stitched. Shake and fluff pillows by hand periodically during cycle. Dry item completely. Foam rubber pillows are slow to dry. End of Cycle Signal The End of Cycle signal sounds when a cycle is complete, the signal will sound only if set to On. If the Iron Dry (Automatic) cycle is running, and the End of Cycle signal is set to On, a signal sounds every few minutes. The signal stops when you open the door or turn the Cycle Control knob to Off. Drying Rack The drying rack is useful for drying items you would not necessarily want to tumble dry or that you would normally line dry (for example, sweaters).

Cleaning the Dryer Location Keep dryer area clear and free from items that would obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air. WARNING DRYER CARE As needed cleaning Laundry detergent and fabric softener residue can build up on the lint screen. This buildup can cause longer drying times for your clothes, or cause the dryer to stop before your load is completely dry. The screen is probably clogged if lint falls off the screen. Clean the lint screen with a nylon brush every 6 months, or more frequently if it becomes clogged due to a residue buildup. Explosion Hazard To wash 1. Roll lint off filter using your fingers. 2. Wet both sides of lint screen with hot water. 3. Wet a nylon brush with hot water and liquid detergent. Scrub lint screen with the brush to remove residue buildup. Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline, away from dryer. Place dryer at least 46 cm (18 inches) above the floor for a garage installation. Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire. Cleaning the Lint Screen Every load cleaning The lint screen is located in the door of the dryer. Clean the lint screen before each load. A screen blocked by lint can increase drying time. To clean 1. Pull the lint screen toward you. Roll lint off the screen with your fingers. Do not rinse or wash screen to remove lint. Wet lint is hard to remove. 2. Push the lint screen firmly back into place. IMPORTANT: Do not run the dryer with the lint screen loose, damaged, blocked, or missing. Doing so can cause overheating and damage to both the dryer and fabrics. If lint falls off the screen into the dryer during removal, check the exhaust hood and remove the lint. See Checking Your Vent. 4. Rinse screen with hot water. 5. Thoroughly dry lint screen with a clean towel. Insert lint screen back into dryer. Cleaning the Dryer Interior To clean dryer drum 1. Make a paste with powdered laundry detergent and very warm water. 2. Apply paste to a soft cloth. OR Apply a liquid, nonflammable household cleaner to the stained area and rub with a soft cloth until all excess dye is removed. 3. Wipe drum thoroughly with a damp cloth. 4. Tumble a load of clean cloths or towels to dry drum. NOTE: Garments which contain unstable dyes, such as denim blue jeans or brightly colored cotton items, may discolor the dryer interior. These stains are not harmful to your dryer and will not stain future loads of clothes. Dry unstable dye items inside out to prevent dye transfer. 11

Removing Accumulated Lint From Inside the Dryer Cabinet Lint should be removed every 2 years, or more often, depending on dryer usage. Cleaning should be done by a service technician. From Inside the Exhaust Vent Lint should be removed every 2 years, or more often, depending on dryer usage. If you have any questions or comments, please call a designated Whirlpool service company. Regular Servicing To keep your dryer operating safely at best efficiency, regular servicing by a designated Whirlpool service technician is recommended. For normal use, this should be at 12 monthly intervals. For heavy duty usage, this interval should be reduced accordingly. Vacation care Vacation and Moving Care Operate your dryer only when you are at home. If you will be on vacation or not using your dryer for an extended period of time, you should: 1. Unplug dryer or disconnect power. 2. If you have a gas dryer, close shutoff valve in gas supply line. 3. Clean lint screen. See Cleaning the Lint Screen. Moving care - Electric Dryers For power supply cord-connected dryers: 1. Unplug the power supply cord. 2. Make sure leveling legs are secure in dryer base. 3. Use masking tape to secure dryer door.

TROUBLESHOOTING First try the solutions suggested here and possibly avoid the cost of a service call... Dryer will not run Dryer Operation Has a household fuse blown, or has a circuit breaker tripped? There may be 2 fuses or circuit breakers for the dryer. Check to make sure both fuses are intact and tight, or that both circuit breakers have not tripped. Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker. If the problem continues, call an electrician. Is the correct power supply available? Electric dryers require 240-volt power supply. Check with a qualified electrician. Was a regular fuse used? Use a time-delay fuse. Is the dryer door firmly closed? Was the Start button firmly pressed? No heat Has a household fuse blown, or has a circuit breaker tripped? Electric dryers use 2 household fuses or circuit breakers. The drum may be turning, but you may not have heat. Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker. If the problem continues, call an electrician. For gas dryers, is the valve open on the supply line? Unusual sounds Has the dryer had a period of non-use? If the dryer hasn t been used for a while, there may be a thumping sound during the first few minutes of operation. Is a coin, button, or paper clip caught between the drum and front or rear of the dryer? Check the front and rear edges of the drum for small objects. Clean out pockets before laundering. Is it a gas dryer? The gas valve clicking is a normal operating sound. Are the four legs installed, and is the dryer level front to back and side to side? The dryer may vibrate if not properly installed. See the Installation Instructions. Is the clothing knotted or balled up? When balled up, the load will bounce, causing the dryer to vibrate. Separate the load items and restart the dryer. Dryer Results Clothes are not drying satisfactorily, drying times are too long, or load is too hot Is the lint screen clogged with lint? Lint screen should be cleaned before each load. WARNING Fire Hazard Use a heavy metal vent. Do not use a plastic vent. Do not use a metal foil vent. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or fire. Is the exhaust vent or outside exhaust hood clogged with lint, restricting air movement? Run the dryer for 5-10 minutes. Hold your hand under the outside exhaust hood to check air movement. If you do not feel air movement, clean exhaust system of lint or replace exhaust vent with heavy metal or flexible metal vent. See the Installation Instructions. Are fabric softener sheets blocking the grille? Use only one fabric softener sheet, and use it only once. Is the exhaust vent the correct length? Check that the exhaust vent is not too long or has too many turns. Long venting will increase drying times. See the Installation Instructions. Is the exhaust vent diameter the correct size? Use 10.2 cm (4") diameter vent material. Timer does not noticeably advance Is the dryer set to Timed or Air Dry? The timer moves slowly and continuously for the time setting. Is the dryer set to Automatic Drying? The timer moves only when the clothing is mostly dry. See How Auto Moisture Sensing Works in Dryer Use. 13

WARNING Lint on load Is the lint screen clogged? Lint screen should be cleaned before each load. Stains on load or drum Explosion Hazard Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline, away from dryer. Place dryer at least 18 inches (46 cm) above the floor for a garage installation. Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire. Is the dryer located in a room with temperature below 7ºC (45ºF)? Proper operation of dryer cycles requires temperatures above 7ºC (45ºF). Is the dryer located in a closet? Closet doors must have ventilation openings at the top and bottom of the door. The rear of the dryer requires 14 cm (5½") of airspace, and 2.5 cm (1") is recommended for the sides and front of the dryer. See the Installation Instructions. Has an air dry cycle been selected? Select the right cycle for the types of garments being dried. See Cycles. Is the load too large and heavy to dry quickly? Separate the load to tumble freely. Was dryer fabric softener properly used? Add dryer fabric softener sheets at the beginning of the cycle. Fabric softener sheets added to a partially dried load can stain your garments. Drum stains are caused by dyes in clothing (usually blue jeans). This will not transfer to other clothing. Loads are wrinkled Was the load removed from dryer at the end of the cycle? Was the dryer overloaded? Dry smaller loads that can tumble freely. Odors Have you recently been painting, staining or varnishing in the area where your dryer is located? If so, ventilate the area. When the odors or fumes are gone from the area, rewash and dry the clothing. Is the dryer being used for the first time? The new electric heating element may have an odor. The odor will be gone after the first cycle. Before calling for assistance or service, please check the Troubleshooting section. It may save you the cost of a service call.
